What must be done to attract a population to your Island
Asked by: Briquetaverne
from Paris, France
|
You have a good sized Island. It's barely inhabited, mostly fisherman . It was well inhabited once but since "whaling" became outlawed everyone left.
Your island has four seasons, decent flora and fauna, fresh water, minimal natural resources to attract any kind of serious exploitation. There are a couple of lighthouses, an airstrip, 1 small deep water port, an abandoned railroad of the steam era and a couple of villages that hold perhaps 300 people total. You're the Authority with a budget of 10 million. What must be done to populate your island to 100,000?

First you need to begin a housing development! Then a couple of hotels, nice shopping area, cottages and perhaps a camp site. You'll need some nice fishing boats. Then when everything is in order - advertise, give tours.
